Feicui Reservoir

The Feitsui Reservoir extends across 1,800 hectares of mountainous terrain, storing 460 million cubic meters of water for the greater Taipei region.

Construction of the reservoir began in August 1979 and reached completion in June 1987, with a total investment of 11.4 billion New Taiwan dollars.

The name translates to 'emerald lake' in reference to its water quality, which ranks among the highest standards of all reservoirs in Taiwan.

Access to the reservoir requires special authorization and guided tours, with limited entry points along Provincial Highway 9 near the 15-kilometer waterfront.

The Gueishan Power Station at the dam produces 223 gigawatt-hours of hydroelectric power annually through its 70-megawatt installation.
